Is that a wireless mouse oe a wired mouse?

Dear customer,\015\012 Microsoft and Logitech both put out (free download) a collection of software drivers for their mice and other pointing devices. Unless somethings changed in how they program these packages, the drivers for the basic optical mouse for each manufacturer are compatible with almost all other basic mice that you might purchase.\015\012Also, check the site for the mouse manufacturer (thinking you should go with the USB model if possible). See if they have a driver you can download and install. Just make certain it's an XP driver.

Hope this helps....I've included the links below for both the MS and Logitech drivers. Try one, if it works...great...if not, uninstall and try the 2nd.
